AC DC - AC/DC RETURN TO THE STUDIO AFTER EIGHT YEARS
Australian rockers AC DC are preparing to end an eight year chart absence by heading back to the studio to record a new album. The band has released a variety of re-mastered LPs over the last few years, but there hasn't been any fresh material recorded since 2000's Stiff Upper Lip. But now the group have announced plans to reunite next month (March08) to record a new LP, and the bandmates are also considering embarking on a major world tour. Bassist Cliff Williams says, " We're going to get together and get in the studio and I fully expect we will (tour). "(When) the last tour ended in early 2001, you'd see kids on their dads' shoulders. And these kids were like 10, 12 years old. It will be tremendous to see that again."

Don Coleman, Canada's Premiere AC/DC Vocalist has recorded a song to celebrate the
life and spirit of Bon Scott former frontman for AC/DC. The song "Women, Whiskey
& Rock'n'Roll" has been airing daily in Australia on the Rebel FM Network (40 stations
is Queensland / NSW ) plus two stations near Fremantle, Western Australia where there
is a concert to unveil a statue of Bon Scott this week - PERTH 107.3 FM and 89.7
FM on weekly shows. Each day there are more Australian, Canadian and American FM
Stations coming onboard to air the song.
Last week the song launched on WRUW FM 91.1 in Cleveland, Ohio ( home of the R&R
Hall of Fame) complete with an on air interview with Don Coleman, on a show dedicated
to the memory of Bon Scott. Also on the show where Susan Masino, published author
of "Let There Be Rock" a book on Bon and AC/DC, and President of the Bon Scott Fan Club,
Doug Thorncroft, who both love the song. MP3 audio clips are available from the show
on request. The song will be airing this coming w/e on the Newcap FM Network on K-Rock
105.5 in Charlottetown, PEI, along with an interview with Don, as well as FM Stations
in St. John , NB and Moncton, NB, Canada.
Other notable reviews came from Vince Lovegrove ( former bandmate of Bon's in the
"Valentines"), Aussie Legend - Kevin Borich, "Angels" drummer Buzz Bidstrup who will
be performing at the Fremantle concert to unveil the statue, in their re-formed band
the "Party Boys". They all think the song is a 'ripper' (Aussie slang for fantastic).
This week I received a request for the song from longtime friend of Bon and longtime
bassist for Ozzy Osbourne, Bob Daisley who thinks Don did a great job on the song.
Don has been receiving many offers from : England, Scotland, Germany, Italy, Scandinavia,
Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the USA, to front many bands and to tour.
One such offer came from the original frontman for AC/DC, Dave Evans who will also be
performing in Fremantle.
You can listen to the song by visiting the dedicated site at : www.myspace.com/doncoleman
. There are also video clips from Don's AC/DC Tribute tour in Toronto last summer
on YouTube which I can send along at your request.
It would be great to hear that you'd like to do a piece on Don, the song, Bon and
the Fremantle Statue unveiling concert.
